Pap and me has a er, a little business on hand and she ain't at home. They told me that they was some sort of shindig at Mr. Hardwick's to-night. I reckon Johnnie Consadine is chasin' round after her tony friends. Pap said she left the house a-goin' in that direction or Mavity told me, I disremember which. I reckon you'll find her thar. What do you want of her?" "It's Deanie."
"Las' time I unloaded at Runnymede an' it was on'y one ton lebm; for we was goin' out emp'y for wool, on account o' them two Vic. chaps snappin' our loads. I disremember if I tole you the yarn when I pulled you at the Willandra. Or whisky? But I think it was brandy. Yes, it was brandy." "Well?" interrogated Mosey, after a pause.
I used to be drinking a good deal them days. Maybe I didn't say anything of the kind, only it suited you to go back and tell her so. Anyways I disremember it altogether. Anyways he wasn't dead. And I ain't dead now." "I can see that." "And I ain't drunk now. But I am not quite so well off as a fellow would wish to be. Can you get me breakfast?"
He looked at me a few moments curiously, but on my adding that I had only halted there for a few hours, he said: "I thought I knew every man between Lagrange and Indian Spring, but somehow I sorter disremember your face and your name." Not particularly caring that he should remember either, I replied half laughingly, that, as I lived the other side of Indian Spring, it was quite natural.
"Nigh on to a year ago." "That is a long time. You have heard nothing of him since?" "No, miss. I should say yes," he added, with sudden recollection. "One of our boys saw him some months later, and reported that he was well and prosperin'. I disremember where he was, but somewhere at the mines." "That is something. Do you think you could find him?" "I could try, miss,"
The bartender eyed him peculiarly. "Where's this Kentucky and what's a mint-julep?" "On Terra, of course, where I came from. Where'd you think it was, on Andromeda Seven?" "Pardon me, sir. I seem to remember now, having heard of such a drink. I'll have to look it up in the recipe-book I disremember the ingredients." Hanlon grinned and lost his appearance of truculence.
Finally, however, he stretched himself and said: "We er gwine down in de naberhoods er Tallypoosy, an we ain't makin' no fuss 'bout it, nudder." "I disremember," said Uncle Remus, thoughtfully, "whar Tallypoosy is." "Oh, hit's out yan," replied the old man, motioning his head as if it was just beyond the iron gates of the depot. "Hit's down in Alabam.
It's a hot night. I disremember any sich weather before on the Bar." He paused a moment, but nobody volunteering any other meteorological recollection, he again had recourse to his pocket-handkerchief, and for some moments mopped his face diligently. "Have you anything to say on behalf of the prisoner?" said the Judge, finally. "Thet's it," said Tennessee's Partner, in a tone of relief.
Fu' thirty yeahs er mo', ef I do not disremember, we has walked de streets an' de by-ways o' dis country an' called ouahse'ves f'eemen. Away back yander, in de days of old, lak de chillen of Is'ul in Egypt, a deliv'ah came unto us, an Ab'aham Lincoln a-lifted de yoke f'om ouah shouldahs." The audience waked up and began swaying, and there was moaning heard from both Amen corners.
"But dat's jest wat she am, sah, an' a heap sweeter dan de vi'lets in de springtime, sah." "And she actually told you my name?" "Yas, sah, she did dat fer suah 'Massa Geoffrey Benteen, an Englisher from up de ribber, dem was her bery words; but somehow I done disremember jest persactly de place."
